Jahtklubi Restoran

At Lootsi 6, where Pärnu opens towards its river and moorings, the yacht club’s restaurant makes the water part of the dining backdrop. Pärnu has been known as a summer resort since 1838, when its first seaside bathing establishment began operating. Today, the beach promenade, park and historic bath buildings create a different route from the river harbour. Jahtklubi belongs to this second scene: it is by the boats and river, not on the sand, a useful distinction when planning an afternoon.

The official page describes a restaurant with river views, wine and music, and lists several spaces: a dining room for 100 people, a club room for 60, a summer outdoor terrace for another 60 and a seminar room. It also mentions a children’s play area, which makes the venue practical for families. Visitor accounts repeatedly mention the view of the boats, the waterside atmosphere, friendly staff and fish or seafood dishes; others report long waits or mixed experiences with particular plates, including the fish soup. The menu is broad and should not be presented as exclusively traditional Estonian cooking. It is a better fit for a varied dinner with a river setting.

The restaurant publishes the address Lootsi 6 and phone number +372 447 1760. Its Estonian official page lists different hours by day, with earlier closing on Mondays and Tuesdays and longer service at weekends. The English version retains an older schedule, so confirm directly before going, especially early in the week. Visit Pärnu estimates a 15-minute walk from the central beach to the city centre; the route can connect the park, Supeluse Avenue and the river. Jahtklubi is the more scenic marina-side choice; Gastronoom, at Hommiku 17, is closer to an urban dinner of international cooking and wine.
